I'm a mechanic and I don't like this from either perspective.
As mechanic part of my job is keeping our giant supply of greytider equipment out of their hands- this is already a struggle with three people having access. It's also a small lab, and adding five more bodies to make toys in it feels painful.
And as an engineer, I know if I had the access that I'd make toys instead of repairing the station. The engine is also more hands on these days, a whole crew can be necessary to sit on it and work in it to do powerful burns. This could give me a staff shortage .
Engineering and Michanic fit really different niches, I'd like to see Engineers start getting more atmos stuff to assist in repairing the station instead- send PDA messages from the air sensors to engineers and give them better tools for repressurization.
